SUMMARY

When Rolex announced its updated Oyster Perpetual line in 2020, there was a notable absence of the 39mm variant. After a production period spanning only five years, the reference 114300 had been discontinued. Given its near-perfect 39mm case dimensions and short production run, the watch has become something of a collector’s piece.

This reference is finished with a sunburst anthracite dial, with small blue pips along the minutes track adding a subtle touch of colour to an otherwise monochromatic aesthetic. Incredibly versatile in design, the watch can be dressed up or down and has the added practicality of a screw-down crown with 100m water resistance. Housed inside the Oyster case is the in-house 3132 calibre, which features Rolex’s proprietary ‘Paraflex’ shock absorption system, a 48-hour power reserve, chronometer certification, and is tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.

Any watch not covered by a current sales or service warranty should be considered as potentially requiring a service, even if in full working order on the date of purchase.
